The biggest field ever for a Western Surfing Association event stormed Oceanside Harbor South Jetty, just before the first major storm of the winter season made landfall last Sunday, December 6th. 410 competitors did battle in the fun 2-3 foot surf. Saturday started out with glassy peaks pouring in all morning, but the afternoon winds chopped things up a bit. Sunday morning had a bit of morning sickness, but the conditions improved as the day wore on.

Camp Pendleton Marines were on hand collecting toys for their Toys For Tots campaign and WSA surfers came through with the goods! Over 260 toys and $180 in cash were donated over the weekend! The Kicker Livin' Loud award for the high wave scores went to Heather Jordan for her 9.5 and Christian Arballo for his 9.63 on Saturday. On Sunday it went to Kanoa Igarashi with a perfect 10 and Tiare Thompson for her 8.16 ride.
